Overview
People with Arthritis have to be careful with the kind of exercise they do. Frequent exercise can treat your symptoms and stop you from feeling pain. You must know that pain and absence of movement work together; one can lead to the other.
Pain impedes movement, and then the muscles strengthening the joint become rigid, reducing the normal function of the joint and the range of motion. Experts advise people to move regularly if they experience a stiff joint [1].
Low-impact exercise is one of the most recommended and simplest ways to break this cycle, but not all types of exercise should be done by people with Arthritis pain. You can do the following things and incorporate them into your daily activities.
What are the benefits of exercising with arthritis?
Exercise is good for everybody, whether you experience pain or not. It improves your mood and energy levels; it acts as a natural source of just endorphins [2] and boosts daytime alertness and nighttime rest.
Exercise can be done to decrease joint discomfort and improve the range of motion in the joints. It enhances flexibility and strengthens the joint. You don’t have to indulge in strenuous exercises to see results. If you don’t move, the risks of gaining weight, breaking a bone, and losing range of motions increase.
